Grenade

Shooting in a museum where flash is prohibited is tough, but modern DSLRs are actually pretty good at it.A fast fifty is the go. My EF 50mm f/1.4 is a great lens, but the depth of field is sooooo narrow. Hardware: EOS 1D MkIIN, EF 50mm f/1.4 Exposure: ISO400, 1/50s @ f/1.4, 50mm (65mm eft.)Continue reading “Grenade”

The Taste of Summer

The taste of summer. Using f/5 has given this image enough depth of field but still retained good background bokeh. Hardware: Canon EOS 1D MkIIN, EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS Exposure: ISO200, 1/500th @ f/5, -0.33EV, 160mm (Effective 196mm) Post: Crop, definition, sharpen.

Faster…
